"Dust to Dust and somewhere in-between," is a series created during my residency at Ballinglen, Ballycastle, Ireland. The natural beauty of the landscape and seascape was most inspiring to me; as it felt like an enchanted forest.

During my stay Pope John Paul II died and I was compelled to create this piece entitled Celtic Cross, as a tribute to him.

My process was experimental and involved, collaborating with the sun. Using drops of paint onto wet paper created a washed effect. The paint continued to bleed on the paper until the sun from the skylight dried the paper.         - Gail Shaw Clemons
